The Atlanta based Information Technology firm, 3i People, has been selected to
participate in the Governor's Mentor Protege Program. The firm has been teamed
with Bellsouth which recently has been acquired by AT&T Inc., for $86
billion. By mid 2007 Bellsouth will be doing business under the name of
AT&T Southeast. The spring reporting session of the eighteen month mentor
protege program kicks off on March 14, 2007.
3i People was one of only twenty-six companies accepted into the program
although seventy-seven had applied. The first-of-its-kind program teams
prospering companies that have proven competencies in business, technology and
the development of sophisticated business solutions with smaller, emerging
Georgia-based businesses to increase the odds for success. Entrepreneurs gain
the tools and techniques to improve their operations, create valuable business
alliances and accelerate growth, and established companies find new
opportunities, partners and markets..
3i People is a recognized leader in the IT industry. The company's CEO, Raj
Swami, recognizes the added value participation in the program will offer his
company. Mr. Swmai says “being teamed with a company like Bellsouth will not
only give us a sharper competitive edge, but now with them merging with
AT&T, it broadens our ability to learn from a company that has proven to be
a technology and communications leader for decades.”
The program is primarily sponsored by the State of Georgia. Additionally, eight
of the state’s most respected and successful companies provide financial and
in-kind assistance to support the program, and serve as corporate sponsors: GE
Energy, Georgia Power, Lockheed Martin, Office Depot, The Coca-Cola Company,
The Home Depot, Turner Broadcasting Systems and UPS. These companies and others
have helped more than 125 small businesses meet their specific challenges and
develop the tools they need to succeed.
The program is conducted over 18-month cycles of engagement. Each cycle begins
with a competitive application and review process. Protégé companies are
evaluated to determine the most critical areas for improvement and then matched
with Mentor companies possessing the expertise, resources and leadership to
best guide their success. During the cycle, the Mentor-Protégé team identifies
strategies for accelerating growth, securing necessary resources and entering
target markets. At the end of the cycle, Protégés exit the program and are
enpowered to grow and thrive.
